Didnt that magic tree annoy you?
It's my G-meter innit! 
Robin to be fair, all of this debate and arguing is just because you put a vague first post to this thread! You should of said some of the stuff you keep explaining over and over in your initial post and we'd of posted replied accordingly! It's no point getting angry people are getting the wrong end of the stick, when at the start you gave us no real information about the situation or your plans.

I have a plan for the engine, whatever the car is, but it MUST be RWD.
Ideally, I'd want something which you could pick up for a few of hundred quid, in solid, almost rot free form.
The other thing is, the gearbox needs to be mounted in the normal place, so no Volvo 340s or Porsche 924s 
It needs to be light, cheap, and RWD, so throw some ideas at me, it doesn't even need to be a looker. 
I wouldn't call that particularly vague Paul.
I mention the engine, what I'm looking for and what I'm not looking for...

Most people's responses to your initial post meets the criteria of your initial post, but are wrong.
That suggests what you wrote is too vague.
Your original post doesn't mention, budget, purpose or any of the recent stuff like your plan to mod it gradually where money is no object or 'it has to look respectable' etc.
I guess I'm too used to doing software and requirements analysis, where the spec has to be 100% spot on, or you get the wrong shit made.
It's not actually wrong at all, the developer made what was asked of them, it's just the requirements spec wasn't sufficent or wrong.

Modifying is massively more expensive than just buying and using.
My sentiments exactly. My idea is to just make the car a bit lighter and a bit safer and as reliable as possible and then have some fun with it.
